14:32 – Red Bull has gone more aggressive than main rivals Mercedes and Ferrari with its tyre selections for next weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix.
Pirelli will bring its Super Soft, Soft and Medium compounds to Suzuka, the same as in China, Bahrain, Azerbaijan, Britain, Hungary, Italy and Malaysia, and also selected for Brazil.
Red Bull drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen have both selected nine sets of Super Softs, two more than their Mercedes and Ferrari counterparts, who will take more Softs.
McLaren has picked even more Super Softs, with 10 sets per driver.
Overall, Super Soft selections range from seven to 10 sets, Softs from two to five sets and Mediums from one to three sets, with most drivers only taking the mandatory set.
As usual, drivers were free to choose 10 out of 13 compounds; a set of Super Softs will be held for Q3, and a set of Softs and Mediums for the race (one of which must be used).
